Stella's heart sank as Keegan's words planted the seed that made her begin to lose hope of winning his love.Despite knowing that Keegan had only married her under duress and was in love with another, Stella's youthful confidence led her to believe that since they were already married, it was just sooner or later that she could win him over and have him all by herself.But, it was all a delusion — that other person remained in Keegan's heart. No matter how hard she tried or how well she did, there would never be a place for her in his heart.She recalled that Keegan began to talk nonsense as his temperature rose to 38 degrees at that time.This time, his temperature was very high. Stella doubted that it was lower than last time. Most likely, the fever was caused by wound inflammation. No matter how many grudges Stella held against him, she did not want anything to happen to him. So, after a short thought, she said goodbye to the caretaker and left.After Aldor hung up the phone, h
Stella felt both anger and amusement as she looked at Keegan. He was like the stray cat that used to hang around her childhood home. She had fed it for almost six months, but one day she accidentally kicked it in the head while she was opening the door. After that, the cat would never let her touch it. Every time she tried to pet it, the cat would move its head to avoid her, just like Keegan was doing now.Although she could not catch the stray cat, Stella knew how to deal with Keegan. She stared at him for a few seconds, took off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed to straddle him. She reached for his shirt, which surprised Keegan and caused him to struggle as soon as he regained his senses.Normally, Stella might not be able to hold him down. But, now that he was burning with a fever, he was as weak as a sick cat. It did not take long for Stella to unbutton his shirt, revealing his bare chest."Stella, do you have no shame?!" Keegan shouted.Perhaps it was because of Keegan's ang
Keegan's fever was high. Even a simple movement like that had already exhausted him so much that he was panting hard and spewing hot breath.'He's sick as hell, yet he's still acting so insolent.' Stella wanted to laugh. But, she was certain that if she did that, Keegan would strangle her even if he did not skin her alive.'Why bother being angry with a patient?' Thinking of this, she sighed and spoke softly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Kane. Please don't be angry. You have a high fever, and you refuse to take medicine or go to the hospital. I'm just worried about your health.""Quit trying to fool me. If you were worried about me, why didn't you come home for two days? I bet you wish that I would have brain damage so you could take your share of my wealth and leave. Stella, there is no woman in this world who is better at lying than you!"'You bastard. Not only did you call me selfish, but you also called me a liar?! If you weren't sick, I would have kicked you off the bed by now!' After curs
Stella thought that Keegan was deliberately clinging to her. But, she realized that she had misunderstood him as soon as he said, "Me too."Stella said resignedly, "You first."Keegan got up from the bed. But, as soon as he stood up, his feet went wobbly, and he was about to fall to the ground.Luckily, Stella reacted quickly. She grabbed his collar and pulled him back, so he fell on the bed instead.The fever reducer that Stella had given Keegan had a particularly strong effect. She herself had taken it once and quickly felt drowsy and weak.She thought to herself, 'Judging from his state, I guess the medicine has already kicked in.' So, she said, "I'll get Aldor to help." As she spoke, she tried to get up, but Keegan held her down."No, don't go!" Keegan yelled.Stella then explained, "But, I can't move you alone."He gave a determined stare and refused to let Aldor come. At that moment, his face was red.Stella was a little late when she realized, 'Keegan cares a lot about
After Stella had bandaged his wound, Keegan had already fallen asleep.She put away the first-aid kit and pondered a bit before lying down next to Keegan.Every half an hour, Stella would get up to check Keegan's temperature. At two in the morning, Keegan's temperature finally dropped to 38 degrees. Only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and fall asleep as she could not stay up any longer.The next day when Keegan woke up, he felt much better, except for his shoulder, which felt like there was a heavy rock on it.He frowned and opened his eyes, wanting to push whatever was on his shoulder. But, before he could touch it, he saw Stella's sleeping face. He could not help but recall what had happened in the bathroom last night.After staring at Stella for a long time, he slowly moved his outstretched hand and moved her head aside.Keegan looked at Stella with disgust as soon as he felt the wet drool on his shoulder. He then picked up a blanket and clumsily covered her wit
"What?" Felicity did not understand what Stella meant."Well, sometimes Sophia's methods can be pretty effective," said Stella.Felicity was still trying to figure out the meaning of Stella's sentence. Soon, she saw Stella's countermove.After half an hour, Dusk Galaxy posted on Facebook, [Nothing in the world is as mean as the human heart.] Just ten minutes later, she posted again, [All work suspended indefinitely.] And ten minutes after that, she took down all of her Facebook posts and deactivated her account, quitting the platform entirely. Shortly thereafter, some netizens discovered that she had not only deactivated her Facebook account, but all of her social media accounts. Soon, the topic "Dusk Galaxy Quits Social Media" climbed to the top of the trending list in just a few minutes.Dusk Galaxy did not offer any explanation for Kelly's interview or respond to any of the netizens' questions. With just the phrase "as mean as the human heart" as her farewell message, she had co
Felicity had never thought that Stella would take this opportunity to deactivate the Dusk Galaxy account.It was a clever move. On one hand, as Dusk Galaxy, Stella portrayed herself as a victim; on the other, she withdrew at the peak of her voice-acting career. In the minds of her fans, she would be the perfect and innocent victim.If Dusk Galaxy were to return after this, it would undoubtedly cause another storm.Unfortunately, the account has ten million followers. It was a pity to just give up like that. If it were Felicity, she would not be able to let go.Felicity suddenly realized that Bella's abilities and vision were far more inferior than Stella's. 'I will never understand why Keegan Kane, that blind bastard, would choose a pile of shit over a rose.'In the office of Vinci Rivera Group, Keegan sneezed several times.Aldor quickly handed him a glass of water. "Mr. Kane, do you need to take a break?"Keegan pinched his forehead and waved his hand. "Make me a cup of coffee
Sophia was momentarily taken aback. Then, however, she followed along with the crowd, eager to see what was happening.As soon as she stepped out of the lift, she heard someone crying in the lobby. "Why are you firing me? I've been dedicated to serving the Kane family for almost twenty years. And now you're letting me go without any compensation. This is going to ruin my life! I'm going to take legal action against you!"The HR manager downstairs explained, "Ms. Lane, we tried to reach you multiple times yesterday and explained the situation. But you refused to listen and hung up on us. You didn't come to handle the procedures, nor did you come to work. So we had to mark it as an unexcused absence. If you're not satisfied, you can apply for labor arbitration. It won't help to create a disturbance here.""You're the ones who didn't want me to come here, so how can this be considered an unexcused absence? You're bullying me! I demand to speak with Mr. Kane! I want to see Keegan Kane!"
